Automate reminders for recurring cleans
Clients get a heads-up before every visit, so you're never locked out.
The problem
Arriving to a locked door or an unready house wastes a slot and fuel.
What it could earn or save you
Rough estimate- Time
- Roughly 1 hour a week
- Money
- Fewer wasted trips
How we got this: Based on replacing manual texts to recurring clients and avoiding a few wasted visits per month. Your results depend on your business; this is an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee.
How to switch it on
- 1
Put recurring clients into a scheduling tool with reminders (Jobber, Housecall Pro), or Google Calendar plus Zapier.
- 2
Send the reminder the day before, including any access notes.
- 3
Ask clients to reply if access has changed.
- 4
Log no-access visits to spot repeat issues.
